Hope Springs

On Tuesday, August 21, 2012, I went to see the movie Hope Springs featuring Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones.

The movie is about a couple who's been married for 31 years.  Kay and Arnold.  Kay, played by Streep, is a salesperson at a women's clothing boutique while Arnold, played by Jones, is a major partner in a firm for taxes.

Kay is relatively unhappy about the routine that is her marriage.  They are no longer intimate.  In fact, they don't even sleep in the same bed anymore.  So, she decides that she wants to go to couples counselling because she would like to feel like she did when she was 22, which was when she got married to Arnold.

At first, Arnold is reluctant to go, but he tags along and the two of them meet Dr. Feld, an intense couples counsellor, played by Steve Carrell.  His office is in Hope Springs.

What happens in the movie?  You'll have to watch to find out.  A great performance by Streep as well as Jones.  A great comedy/date movie/romantic comedy.
